Not an infinite set of formats. A fixed/allowed number of format. Say : . AC3D . OSG (several variants) . PNG . JPG . RGB . EFF (effect) . FRAG/VERT/GEOM (shaders) . XML You cover a wide range of needs if you allow any number of files in this set of formats Regards, -Fred ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
